Just curious, what are some? I've no experience hosting any sort of website or anything. I assumed ads were pretty much the best bet?

Haha an average session on the website was about eight and a half minutes. Must be alot of folks that come to see one post and leave to average out those of us that are terminally online.

I wasn't subbed to either of the communities that the op said this was originally for, and I found kbin whilst searching for a Reddit alternative. I like the whole federation thing, it's new and interesting, for now at least.

It does seem like a terrible decision, I wasn't even going to delete my stuff because it's frankly useless, there's not much of it and I couldn't be bothered. But now I kind of want to just to put a stick in the spokes

Well, there's roughly 33000 kbin and 140000 Lemmy
So at max 33000 duplicates?
